“Duh troof herts”

“Here's the problem sarge.

You don't know a thing about the relationship between intelligence and voting patterns.

I do.”

“LOL - MarkO still thinks it's the truth!

typical”

“See what I mean?”

“Really Violin?

Did you know your post is a lie, and wrong?”

“Violin - If you are such an expert, wouldn't you have know that graph was a hoax?

What else are you an expert in?

“Violin, you are a sinner.

The Right Reverend Sarge is gonna put a hex on ya!!

Oh yeah, and boo hoo!!”

“Trolling for Konservatives.”

“Hooked 'em !!”

“Fine - Tell funny jokes because you are wrong.

typical

Still waiting for the source Violin since you said it's accurate, and snopes is biased.

Why won't you share with us the source Violin?

What's a matter?”

“NaNaBooBoo!”

“Geo, you so mean!!”

“Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


Violin won't play fair!”

“that this is his last term-”

“Don't be surprised if they try to amend the Constitution back to unlimited terms.”

“They own the electronic voting machines.”

“Didn't this get posted and exposed as a hoax long ago?

Snopes aside, it is ludicrous to think that Connecticut would be about one standard deviation above the average and Mississippi one standard deviation below. Within the US, IQ would not vary so dramatically from State to State.”

“There must be cultural bias in those IQ tests given to the folks of Equatorial Guinea.”

“his speech was pretty much terrible. America is not buying it anymore. He doesn't get it. He needs to come clean and be honest for once. He needs to tell us the real reason we went to war in the first place. He needs to come clean about the WMDs that he lied and mislead the American people about. He needs to stop saying things are going great in Iraq when in fact they are not. If he did that, then his approval ratings would not be plummeting as they are now.

“Don't hold your breath waiting for that.”

“ENS - I have the feeling anything he would have said, no matter what it was (aside from I'm stepping down as President), you'd find something negative to say about the speech. If he would have said what you wanted to say (which is the lies you've decided to believe) you still would have pointed the finger and said he should be impeached. Pa-leeze.

Bush told the truth about what is happening in Iraq.

What is the real travesty here is that if these Senators (Kerry, and the one with the plastic surgery eyes) were so adamant about change in Iraq, they'd spend less time telling that to the cameras and more time trying to make it happen. I mean, they are Senators for crying out loud!”

“You know what's funny - The press reports nothing but NEGATIVE opinions about Bush. If he'd actually been losing support as much as they say all of these years, there would be nobody left that supported him. Literally nobody. Even before the elections they predicted a Kerry win - until they had to put their money where their mouths were and look at actual voter preference. The media and their polls are a complete joke --- and the voters know it.

The way the press reports things each and every night you'd think the whole country is liberal Democrat. The fact of the matter is the Democratic party is falling to it's knees.”

“LMAO!

I'm gonna have to mark this thread for next time the Ol' Vile Man claims to have any integrity.

Nice job of the trained monkeys cheering him on also.

Good job Sarge!”

“LOL - Here was my favorite part of the whole thread:

"You don't know a thing about the relationship between intelligence and voting patterns.

I do." - Vileman”

“It's classic Vile Man. LOL”

“the only good speech Bush ever gave, and his finest moment I might add, was the speech he gave on the top of the rubble of the WTC. His presidency was poor before that and has been poor ever since. He has thus far been pretty much a failure.
last edited: 6/28/05 9:31:44 PM”

“I'd say Kerry was a failure. Brilliant guy like that couldn't get elected up against a "failure". LOL - Sounds like he's the failure to me ENS.”

“intelligence tests are unfairly biased in favor of smart people”

“Bush continues to relate the war in Iraq to 9/11. They weren't even remotely connected. War with Iraq was on the table before 9/11. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.”

“Awwww, come on now Sarge, Kerry was so much more smarter and nuanced than Bush. Kerry made so much better grades than Bush in college.
MOOOOOOOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!”

“this isn't about Kerry, Kerry is not the president, Bush is. Please explain how Bush has been an effective leader. What has he accomplished for the better good of this nation?

“Reps thought it was great, Dems thought it was terrible..typical responses from both sides

sarge, I will give you one thing.. Kerry was a joke, even a bigger joke than Bush was/is. It is sad that the Democratic party couldn't come up with anything better than Kerry.”

“What has he accomplished for the better good of this nation?

ENS - I guess that depends on who you believe. You believe the "Kerry" fan base and Peter Jennings who grew up hating America and obviously still does because he won't get his family citizenship here and only did himself recently to shut up the people calling him on it, and I don't.”

“Why would you say the Kerry-Fan-Base hates America? I certainly do not hate America. I have a lot of pride in my country and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Just because someone doesn't support the president, doesn't mean they hate their country. That's simply ridiculous. Standing up and expressing disdain for a leader you feel is failing the nation is in my opinion, quite patriotic.”

“I think it's really 'cute' for the Bush haters to use a thread named 'What I like most about President Bush' for Bush bashing. LOL”

“ENS, why do you hate america so?”

“Um, ENS, I said "Peter Jennings who grew up ..." etc etc.”

“Why do I hate America?

I hate America because Sarge says I hate America.”

“One of the problems I have with Bush is his inability to admit a mistake.... It borders on pathological.

For me it's about integrity. A man who cant admit mistakes can't be trusted. He will be forced to twist the truth to keep making it look like he's right, even when it's obvious he's not.

Bush has been quoted several times as saying, "never admit a mistake". I wonder if he thinks it will make him look weak? I hope when prays he doesn't keep this facade up, God knows the truth.”

“I asked a libbie that once. He said he doesn't hate america. He loves the mountains and the rivers, etc.

In other words, to libbies, "America" is not what is in the Constitution, but it's the actual physical land. I never thought of it that way, but they apparently do. Interesting difference in perceptions.”

“I can't remember the last time I watched a Peter jennings broadcast. I think I was probably still in highschool and didn't give two shiits who was sitting in the oval office.”

“neo-cons hate libbies
there are many libbies in america
therefore, neo-cons hate america”

“mtnsteve - That's a Democratic talking point. They and the media pushed that and made it an issue.

Give me a break about the not admitting mistakes garbage. It's a planned attempt at a talking point by a political party, and you fell for it hook, line and sinker. It was a strategy by them, and the major media sucked it up like a slurpy. Remember that pathetic excuse of a press conference where he was asked 13 times about admitting a mistakes and what he thinks about America thinking he has a speech impediment? Come on people, get a life. Grow up. Act like adults. This isn't the playground.”

Dang mtnsteve! You are being a bit harsh on violin (fake IQ posting, et all)! ;-)”

“in all seriousness, lets quit dragging out the "you hate america" crap. its silly, and counter-productive, unless of course youre just using it to stall until you can collect your thoughts”

“Sarge, you're beginning to scare me. We live so close to eachother. I may need to install a motion detector. You know so much about me.”
